Heart Stealer Quilling Designs

Monday, March 24, 2014

Yet another week of some beautiful quilling surfacing all around me and I am so glad that people are trying newer things! This week's winners have done very contrasting & different work!

The first winner is a lovely creation by Elena K, where she makes this BEAUTIFUL flower. Those tiny yellow tight coils are sheer brilliance! I loved them from the word go! And the leaves? Ahhhh! Amazing, amazing and amazing!

The next winner is Shweta Yadav, with her beautiful wall decoration of "FAMILY". Those swirls not only look effortless, they look exotic too.....

Both the winners are free to use the Heart Stealer badge to display on their profiles/blogs......congratulations and all the best for Future work :)

The world is filled with talented people doing some spectacular quilling and it is a visual and intellectual treat to be compiling them here!

The first winner for the past one week was kind of obvious! :D The amount of patience this lady has is breathtaking. One can't forget her Indian lady easily but she makes another masterpiece, in form of these irises.....and even goes ahead with a tutorial......

The 3 dimensionality of the irises is unmistakable and the artistic mastery, unparallelled! Congrats to Saphir for this wonderful, amazing creation!

The second winner today is another lady, who has been featured here before. It is testimony enough that she is back here.........a winner yet again! This time, she takes cuteness to a completely new level! With this cute ladybird couple, she wins hearts.......or, at least, mine ;)

The winners are free to display the badge on their pages/websites/blogs :)

An eternity ago, I stopped writing on this blog, for various reasons. Wondering why won't get me anywhere but picking the thread up will :)

So, here we go, with quilling designs that were REALLY impressive this week. A note to the new visitors, the designs posted here are my picks from the Internet. You can not post your designs here. At the expense of sounding snotty, impress me and you'll be here automatically :)

So, what took my fancy this week? Ahem! Sometimes, simplicity is all it takes to make a tremendous impact. Stefka Beshkovska's "reindeer head" did JUST that! The sheer simplicity of the idea and perfect execution kept me glued! So, here goes the first Heart Stealer 26 winner:

The second one that had me goggling at it is Simona Elena's cute little puppy with a kitten. Simona tends to make really lively portraits using quilling. Her animal portraits need a special mention! :) This lay never seems to stop surprising us :)

In the middle of all the Aadyaa rush, here are my picks for a quarter century of Heart Stealer Quilling designs :) The first winner is so seasoned a player at quilling that I needn't even mention anything about her prowess with the quill (oh my my, what phraseology :D).......

The first winner is Baukje from the country of dykes, who has kept me mesmerized with her creations for months on end. She has won the Heart Stealer before but this time, she bowls me over with the delicateness and elegance of her very Victorian pattern quilled tea-cup and saucer......with a spoon to go along :)

The second winner is no newbie to quilling either. His quilled Dutch windmill left not just me, but everyone spellbound. This time, Harold Nieuwenhuis is back with a Steam Engine, of all things! :) And what a steam engine :)

So, from the fragile Victorian tea-cup to a steam releasing locomotive, from Holland to USA, the only boundary quilling knows is that of your imagination.......let it loose, let us quill, let us be creative.....

Apologies in abundance for disappearing for an eternity but it was sure a hectic time. I have been, however, keeping in touch with what's happening in the quilling world.........and here are my Heart Stealers for this week:

Yasmin Hagalwadi for her eye-poppingly good name plate. The beautiful riot of colours makes you stop dead in your tracks and say - Ooh la la, Yasmin, you rock! :) What a stunner of a piece really :)

And: Gordana Mudri's AWESOME antique book box. I didn't even realize in the first glance that it was NOT a book! Kudos Gordana, for creating such a beautiful box, the gilding is perfect and it looks absolutely like a box from the outside! :)

This week's Heart Stealer is equally distributed between hard-work and path-breaking concept! I was away for 2 weeks (a mad hectic time!) but am back to be WOWED by the work the quillers are doing all around the world!!!!!!!

The first Heart Stealer this work is:

Darshana Savla's ASTONISHING work with birds and flowers and leaves...........I was nearly knocked out after that! I'll leave the rest to the image to explain for itself!!!!

And the second is:

Madalina Dirdara's "dual face" mask that she calls Tragicomedy mask! Been a while since I saw something THIS creative!
